OIL-BURNER.

Application filed July 16, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Crrns'rnn It. Tn'rnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Muskogee, in the county of Muskogee and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners. of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in oil or vapor burners for stoves, furnaces, etc.

The invention has for its object to provide for readily generating oil into vapor or gas for cooking or heating purposes.

A. further object is to carry out the aforesaid ends in a simple, inexpensive and effective manner.

The invention consists therefore of the structural features substantially as hereinafter fully disclosed and defined by the ap pended claims.

In the accompanying drawings is illustrated the preferred embodiment of my in vention wherein it will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made as to the detailed construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the scope of the claims and in which drawing Figure 1 is aplan view of my burner. F i g. 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional elevation thereof.

In the embodiment of my invention, I provide a suitable receptacle or container 1 preferable of general rectangular outline, adapted to be positioned within the combustion or fire chamber of an ordinary cookstove, of a heater, of a furnace, or otherwise positioned for use, said receptacle or container having its top-plate 2 considerably depressed to provide a sub-chamber orpanlike space 3 thereabove, for recovering waste or residue oil received thereinto. The receptacle or container 1 also has suitably upheld thereabove, as by means of supports or members i, spreaders 5 for the flame preferably of the contour or outline as disclosed, the supports 4 being secured to said container and said spreaders. The spreaders are arcuate in cross-section and approximately conoidal in horizontal section, resembling in plan somewhat the outline of a pear or egg this for providing for the desired and effective spreading of the flame as the latter leaps upwardly from the hereinafter referred to burners for fully utilizing its heating action within the fire or combustion chamber.

rectly under the flame-spreaders 5 are positioned upright pipesections 6 communicating with the oil-chamber 7 of the container 1 and forming burners 8 at their upper ends, from which the flame is upwardly ejected upon the flame-spreaders 5, the lower ends of said pipe-sections 6 bein seated into, and projecting through the depressed top-plate 2 of the receptacle or container.

An oil or hydrocarbon supply-pipe 9, suitably connecting with the container 1 and delivering into the oil-chamber 8 thereof, and which is provided with a needle-valve 10 for controlling the supply of oil there through, is connected with a source of oil or hydrocarbon supply (not shown).

In conducting the starting operation, a quantity of oil or hydrocarbon is placed in the preheating or sub chamber 3 for initially vaporizing the oil or hydrocarbon; upon securing that end the gaseous vapor will burn at the burners 8 and accordingly provide for effecting the heating of the combustion or fire chamber, the heating operation being continued until it may be required to stop the same, which, of course, may be readily done by suitably manipulating the needle-valve.

IVhat- I claim as new is 1. In a device of the class described, an oblong receptacle closed at the bottom and open at the top; a partition extended entirely across the receptacle and dividing the interior of the receptacle into a closed oilchamber and an open priming-pan located above the oil-chamber; a pair of supports extended downwardly along the exterior face of one of the side walls of the receptacle to act as reinforcements therefor, the supports overhanging the priming-pan; spreaders secured at one end to the overhanging portions of the supports and elongated transversely of the priming-pan, the other ends of the spreaders being spaced from the opposite'side wall of the receptacle, to give access to the priming-pan; burners beneath the spreaders and communicating with the oil-ch amber; and an oil-supply pipe communicating with the oil chamber.

2. In a device of the-class described, a receptacle-embodying an oil-chamber; a burner communicating with the oil-chamber; a support carried by the side wall of the receptacle and overhanging the oil-chamber; and a spreader the under surface of which is downwardly convexed from one side of the spreader to the other, the ends of the spreader being curved upon arcs of different radii, and the side edges of the spreader being disposed in converging relation and being straight, the smaller end of the spreader being assembled with the support, and the spreader being disposed above the burner.

3. In a device of the class described, an oblong receptacle closed at the bottom and open at the top and provided with a transverse partition dividing'the receptacle into a closed oil-chamber and an open primingpan, above the oil-chamber; a pair of supports connected With one side Wall of the receptacle and overhanging the primingpan; spreaders assembled with the over- Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.
